Dear Brothers and Sisters, I pray that all of you are well by the grace of
Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta`aala

*From Risalatul huquq:*
حق الزوجة( Rights on Your Wife)
*19.** As for the right of your subject through mar-riage [i.e., your wife]
is that you should know that God has made her for you a tranquility and
comfort [in worry] and a friend and shield [against sins]. And, likewise, it
is incumbent upon either of you to thank God for his/her spouse, and to know
that the other is a favour of God upon you.**
And it is obligatory to have good fellowship with this favour of God [i.e.,
your wife] , and to respect her and be kind to her although your [i.e., the
husband's] rights upon her are greater and her obedience to you is more
binding in all your likes and dislikes so long as it is not a sin. So she
has the right of love and fellowship, and a place of repose [i.e., a house]
so that natural desires may be fulfilled, and this in itself is a great
[duty]. And there is no power, save in God.*

So far we discussed how men should be kind to their wives, not bother or
hurt them; not be strict with them, but help them. Now let us see what Islam
instructs women to do to counter men's services, and what role women should
play in life.
The Rights of Men Incumbent Upon Women
Al-Hasan ibn Mahboob quoted on the authority of Malik ibn Atiyeh on the
authority of Muhammad ibn Muslim on the authority of Imam Baqir (MGB) that
once a woman went to the Prophet of God (MGB) and asked: "O' Prophet of God!
What is the right of a man incumbent upon the woman?" The Prophet (MGB)
replied:
أنْ تُطِيعَهُ وَلا تَعْصِيَهُ، وَلا تَصَدَّقَ مِن بَيْتِهِ إلّا بإذْنِه،
وَلا تَصُومَ طَوعاً إلّا بإذْنِه، ولا تَمْنَعَهُ نَفْسَها وإنْ كانَتْ عَلى
ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ، وَلا تَخْرُجَ مِن بَيْتِها إلاّ بِإذْنِه، وإِنْ خَرَجَتْ
بِغَيرِ إذْنِه لَعَنَتْها مَلائِكَةُ السَّماءِ وَمَلائِكَةُ الأرْضِ
وَمَلائِكَةُ الغَضَبِ وَمَلائِكَةُ الرَّحمَةِ حَتىّ تَرْجِعَ إلى بيتِها.
فقَالَت: يا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَن أعْظَمُ النّاسِ حَقّاً عَلى الرَّجُلِ؟ قال:
والِداهُ. قالَت: فَمَنْ أعْظَمُ النّاسِ حَقّاً عَلى المَرْأةِ؟ قالَ:
زَوْجُها.
قَالَت: فَما لي عَلَيهِ مِن الحَقِّ مِثْلُ مَا لهُ عَلَيَّ؟ قال: وَلا مِن
كُلِّ مِائَةٍ واحِدَةٌ.
فَقالَت: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالحَقِّ لا يَمْلِكُ رَقَبَتي رَجُلٌ أبَداً.
*"She should obey him, and not rebel against him. She should not give away
anything from his house as charity unless by his permission. She should not
fast when not required to do so unless by his permission. She should not
withdraw herself from him even if they are riding a camel. She should not
leave the house without his permission. Should she ever leave the house
without his permission, she will be damned by the angels in the heavens and
on the Earth, and the angels of wrath and mercy until she returns home." The
woman asked: "O' Prophet of God! Who has the most rights over a man?" He
said: "His parents." She asked: "Who has the most rights over a woman?" He
said: "Her husband." She asked: "Do I have the same rights over him that he
has over me?" The Prophet (MGB) said: "No. Not even one one-hundredth." Then
she said: "I swear by the One who rightfully appointed you to Prophethood
that no man will ever own me." **[1]*
*The Prophet (MGB) said: *
*حَقُّ الرَّجُلِ عَلى المَرأةِ إنارَةُ السِّراجِ وَإصْلاحُ الطَّعامِ وأنْ
تَسْتَقْبِلَهُ عِندَ بابِ بَيْتِها فَتُرَحِّبَ بِهِ وأنْ تُقَدِّمَ إلَيهِ
الطَّشْتَ وَالمِنْدِيلَ وأنْ تُوَضِّئَهُ وأنْ لا تَمْنَعَهُ نَفْسَها إلاّ
مِن عِلَّةٍ.*
*"The right of the man over his wife is that she should turn on the light,
prepare the food, and rush to warmly welcome him when he comes home. She
should take him some water and a towel, wash his hands and not withdraw
herself from him unless she has an excuse." **[2]*
*The Prophet (MGB) said: *
*لا تُؤَدّي المَرْأةُ حَقَّ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَتىّ تُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّ
زَوجِها.*
*"A woman has not respected God's rights unless she properly fulfills her
husband's rights." **[3]*
*Imam Sadiq (MGB) said: *
*أيُّما امْرَأةٍ بَاتَتْ وَزَوْجُها عَلَيها ساخِطٌ في حَقٍّ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ
مِنْها صَلاةٌ حَتىّ يَرضَى عَنهَا.*
*"God shall not accept the prayers of any woman who passes a night while her
husband is unhappy with her regarding his rights, until he gets pleased with
her." **[4]*
